Thousands took to the street in Hong Kong to protest against the government’s proposal to change an extradition law, which would allow individuals to be sent to mainland China for trial.
Although the extradition law amendment is not China-specific, it is universal -- meaning that any country, including China, can request extradition of an individual to their home country from Hong Kong for trial. Many fear that China could use the law to arrest political dissidents. Many protestors are concerned that the proposed extradition amendment would eradicate the integrity of the rule of law in the city.
